Urinetown
Urinetown the musical is set in the not-so-distant future. A terrible water shortage and 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets and a proliferation of paid public toilets, owned and operated by a single megalomaniac company: the Urine Good Company. If the poor don’t obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, they’ll be sent to the dreaded and mysterious “Urinetown.” After too long under the heel of the malevolent Caldwell B. Cladwell, the poor stage a revolt, led by a brave young hero, fighting tooth and nail for the freedom to pee “wherever you like, whenever you like, for as long as you like, and with whomever you like.” A brilliant satire modeled off the plays of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, Urinetown is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp.

Empathy in Action Film Screening
Going Inside: Empathy in Action is an award-winning documentary that explores rehabilitation through raw dialogue, vulnerability, and authentic connection between incarcerated individuals and members of the community. Filmed at the California Training Facility in Soledad, the film highlights personal growth, accountability, and the transformative power of seeing and treating people as human beings rather than labels.
The film is featured as part of Project Rebound's Second Chances Month programming. Second Chances Month is a nationwide initiative observed each April that raises awareness about the barriers people face after incarceration and uplifts stories of redemption, opportunity, and successful reentry. Through this screening, we aim to foster meaningful dialogue about healing, accountability, and the importance of creating pathways for second chances in our communities.
